W&B?

At first glance, you might think this is a photo from a Wyngate & Bevins film.  Well, it might be, but I don't think so.  

It is a nice photo of some handsome men in the outdoors.  

See Cambria's note.  Apparently this is from Earl Forbes.

  1. This is one of a set of Untitled Photos by Earl Forbes of a Group of 5 Handsome well Built Men On Fire Island, New York circe 1938 to 1940. Even back in the late 1930s Fire Island was secretly known as the place to go for Men who liked the company of other Men. Earl Forbes really did an excellent job with these Fire Island Photos.!

  2. Wie die FKK in Deutschland.
    Wie die Insel Sylt ist die Fire Island seit den 1920er Jahren ein schwuler Rendezvous. :)
    Das Sportshistorische Museum in Hannover beherbergt die Damm-Baunatal Sammlung und die internationale FKK-Bibliothek.
